Case Sensitive

Picky Nicky is packing a punch in the travel department.

With a flight almost every other week, I do a lot of packing. Getting that right means good luggage, ruthless editing, knowledge of how to fold, and somewhere to pack.

Over the past few months I have been air-testing Louis Vuitton’s Marc Newson-designed Horizon cases, which can now be connected to an app via the brand’s Echo device. When a connected case passes through sensors in one of 120 international airports, you receive a notification on your smartphone so that you know the case has landed with you (or, depressingly, turned up somewhere else). It also tells you if your case has been opened.
